Sometimes referred to as a 'Joe Job' however a real 'Joe Job' is
designed to cause harm by having the bounces and complaints go to
the forged envelope domain.
The original 'Joe Job' victim:
http://www.joes.com/spammed.html
You are probably just another victim of envelope forging by low
life 'Make Penis Fast' spammers. Its very rare these days that
spam with a forged envelope will result in your domain being added
to the various block lists. Forged envelope addresses have become
the norm and the blocklist maintainers know this all too well.
If you get an email body in one of the bounces I would definitely
try to follow the money. The trail will probably end in China or
South America at which point you're done. If it leads to a valid
domain registrant, hosting company, or CC processor in North America
you might be able to file suit or press charges. But its probably
not worth you time to pursue it and the spammers know that.
> PS: How did I know? I've received 5-6 non-deliverly notices just today.
Not too worry, too much. Several of my domains are forged in spam
runs daily. Logs show thousands of bounces addressed to non-existent
email addresses in those domains. Such is life on the 'Net today.
